Black It Out

[Dr. ///AMG]

Take whatever pics: PICS (http://www.teamhybrid.com/w210)

I did a couple pshops mself of the black grill, and I'm still not thouroughly convinced. Same w/ blacking out the rest of the chrome. I'm thinking I should fix my rear bumper instead of blacking the shiet out. My rear bumper got a gaping hole in the lip, courtesy of the former placement of the RBtech exhaust.

'shop away.

Thanks

Black it out fool!

All black no doubt.

Make it all black gangsta

Black it all out ala Will, and then chrome your calipers (to be different from Will) :banana:

I like chrome trim on black cars (wait to you see my new POS).

I would black the grill but not the trim items. I would also black those white @$$ side markers, them sh!ts look funny. Mines are painted the color of my car.

I would black out the grill but NOT the side trim. The side trim accents the new wheels and vise-versa. IMHO
Looks good as always!

I think the car looks way more classy with all of the chrome intact, to be honest. I don't mind the blacked out grille, but I think it definitely looks better with the chrome side trim... I agree that the side markers are slightly awkward...

Will somebody please explain the appeal of blacking everything out? I think a little chrome here and there gives some contrast and gives your eyes some lines to follow on the car. A little touch of chrome also makes a car look classy, which is what Mercedes are meant to be (for the most part). That's my opinion...

Definitely black it all out. Take out the chrome stripping (esp. the door handles), black out the grill, and definitely mold those relectors. Bling is overrated and doesn't belong on a tight benzo like that!

and while you're at it. . . black out your stickers. :D

yo docta, did you swap back to your movens??? The look hot! You should think about rockin' the black-out face with polished lip and centercap!

Well in my humble opinion, if you black the entire thing out, it will have more "bling" since it will be much more flashy. Obviously I don't mean "flashy" in the literal sense :P I think it's tough to have "bling" and "class" at the same time... Maybe I'm just snooty!

[Ozzie Bob]

Seriously, LEAVE the chrome strips on the door handles, blackout everything else.

PEACE :ph34r:

Edit: Oh yeah, and I was SERIOUS about the chrome brake calipers :bunny:
